  • My iphone 4S will not charge unless the power is switched off.  How to fix?

    Hello,
    My iPhone 4S will not charge unless it is switched off.  This happened suddenly with no other symptom several weeks ago.  If I plug the charger in, while powered on, the phone doesn't appear to detect it has been plugged in and the battery icon doesn't change its display to show charging.  Charging only happens when the phone is powered off completely.
    I did some searches for this type of problem and saw it has happened to a few with earlier version iphones, but didn't see any published solutions.
    A visit to the local Apple store didn't help either as I was told had to make an appointment; can't make an appointment for awhile because out of the country and no Apple stores where I'm at.
    This is a very annoying problem.  Anyone else have this happen and have a fix?

    I got this problem solved and just want to let others know what it was.
    I followed ewdel1's advice and brought my phone in to have it looked at and sure enough, was told that this is a problem others have had and it was due to a faulty integrated circuit.  Luckily, I was able to take this in to be looked at when I did because my 1 year warranty was about to expire in a week.
    Apple replaced my 4S with a "new" phone.  The replacement looks and works good as new, so happy I didn't have to go through a hassle and the replacement was very straightforward.

  • Iphone 4s will not charge unless the battery is totally dead.

    I just got my iPhone 4s 2 days ago. The first day it charged over night with no problem.  The 2nd day I put it on the charger at the end of the day and nothing happened.  It didn't even show that it was connected to the charger... nothing.  I tried turning it off and plugging it in, this gave me the apple logo and turned the phone on, but still no indication of charging.  I left the phone on the charger and went to bed (it was at about 30%) and when I woke up it was totally dead. I unplugged it, then plugged it back in and the charging screen came up and the phone turned on and charged. It took 2 hours or less to charge to 100% and it hasn't had any trouble holding that charge today.  What is going on with this???  I will probably call customer service after work today, but I'm just curious if anyone else has had this problem or knows what is going on! Thank you!

    Yes I tried multiple sockets, nothing worked. It was still hooked up when I woke up, but dead, I unplugged and replugged and it started charging.  The night before I had tried everything and there was no sign on the phone that I even had it plugged in other than when I turned it off if I plugged it in it would turn on.

  • My iPhone 4 will not charge on the wall charger

    My iPhone 4 will not charge on the wall charger but does on my puter

    The iphone 4 (not 4s) shows that it is charging, but the numbers are going down not up. So I replaced the cable and that fixed it. That was kind of weired that it showed as if it were charging when in fact it was not. The Brick is fine, it was the cable. I should note it was a third party cable. Did Apple do a change where as they wont work with 3rd party cables, I had a longer cable, but am back to the original 3 footer?

    Try another outlet to make sure that isn't the issue. If it still doesn't work you will need to replace your charger.

  • My iphone 4 will not charge and the battery is dead how do i fix this?

    My iphone 4 will not charge and the battery is dead how do i fix this?

    If it's still under warranty, Apple will fix it, but you have to send it to them, so you won't have it for several weeks. If the warranty is expired, they'll still do it, but you'll have to pay for it. Last I heard, it costs $99/S&H.
    That is the ultimate defect in the iPhone. No other cellphone has a battery that is not user-replaceable. I won't buy a phone that doesn't.

    Get a replacement cable. If still under warranty, Apple will replace the cable.

  • HT4060 My iPad4 will not charge using the cable supplied by Apple using AC current or athrough my computer. Help!

    My iPad4 will not charge using the cable supplied by Apple using AC current or the computer. Help!

    Here are some things to check when there is a problem charging the iPad. First use the charger that came with the iPad and connect that to a wall outlet.
    1. No power in the outlet.
    2. Bad charger. Try a different charger.
    3. Bad cable. Try a different cable.
    4. Dirt, lint or fuzz in the charging ports. Check and carefully clean with a toothpick if necessary.
    5. Software glitch. First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    6. Hardware failure. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • IPhone 4 Does not charge or get recognized by laptop and the home button does not work at all.

    The home button on my iPhone 4 does not work at all. Also, when i plug it in to charge, it does not charge at all, and it doesn't even say that it is connected. What will Apple do about this if i send it off? Will I get a replacement? All answers much appreciated.

    Buenas Matias,
    Si, pude solucionarlo hace unos dias, al final me arriesgue y compre el "dock connector", un juego de destornilladores para iPhone 4, lo desarme y lo cambie, y al toque empezo a cargar.
    No queria esperar semanas para el repuesto de iFixit asi que lo compre en MercadoLibre, estan 160 mangos, y si no te queres arriesgar a desarmarlo y cambiarlo vos, hay algunos que te hacen la instalacion tambien.
    Pero primero averigua bien que tengas el mismo problema que yo, o sea el dock connector sirve para lo q describi arriba. Si tenes otro sintoma te recomiendo que investigues porque capaz es otra cosa y terminas gastando un repuesto al pedo.
    Espero que te sirva.
    Saludos
    Gonzalo.

    If you are talking about activation lock you are out of luck. Without that information you cannot activate the device and have just lost your money. Unless you can find the person and get your money back.

    OK Vicky, good clues...
    See if this helps...
    Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Keychain Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over. See if there are duplicates, should be one for Incoming & one for Outgoing.
    Resetting your keychain in Mac OS X...
    If Keychain First Aid finds an issue that it cannot repair, or if you do not know your keychain password, you may need to reset your keychain.

  • My iphone 5 does not charge anymore, and i just bought a new charger. Help anyone? Thank you

    Hello everyone,
    My iphone 5 is not charging any longer, well there must be a bad contact or something, because it works about 50% of the time.
    Thinking it was my old charger, I bought a new one, and I still have the same problem, plus sometimes it says it's not an official product so it doesn't charge.
    I've had the iphone for one year exactly, and I'd rather not buy another charger if it's going to be useless...
    Thank you for any help you may be able to provide.

    Check the socket in base of iPhone for fluff and or any debris a common cause of apparent charger failure
